I have a friend who was reading in Genesis 9 while going through a difficult storm. In this chapter, Noah and his sons have just left the ark and they're making a new covenant with God. It is in this chapter that a reference is made to the rainbow that God sends after this massive storm.
As my friend read this chapter, she cried out to God, "Where is my rainbow?"
The next day as she was being wheeled out of the operating room, still groggy from surgery, her father pulled back the curtains of her hospital room to reveal the biggest rainbow her city had seen in years.
It was in that moment that my friend knew - without a doubt - that rainbow had come from God. I share this story to remind you that God is listening, that He hears you in the midst of your pain. He is near.
"He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds." - Psalms 147:3
